The study involves a comparative analysis of the treatment of increased dental abrasion by various methods. According to some researchers, an increased dental abrasion occurs often and is characterized by its rapid development and a substantial loss of enamel and dentin. Increased dental abrasion affects the anatomical shape of the teeth: disappearance of tubercles, cutting edges of the cutters, decrease in crown height. A direct occlusion leads to abrasion of the cutting edges and chewing surfaces of all teeth, a deep occlusion causes abrasion of labial surfaces of the lower teeth and palatine surfaces of apron upper teeth. Once emerging, an increased abrasion has been steadily growing, deepening in the areas with the exposed dentin, and remaining for a while where the enamel is preserved. Using hitherto only orthopedic methods of treatment for increased abrasion is inefficient, primarily due to the duration of the treatment. It was found that in case of degree I-II increased abrasion the effective methods are both orthopedic treatment method and the method of direct restoration (reduced terms of treatment) and the treatment of grade III - IV abrasion must the restoration method must be combined with orthopedic treatment.
